Seventy-year-old Charlotte Perkins wins a sexy essay contest and the grand prize of a cruise aboard the Splendido Marveloso. She excitedly invites her grown children Lee, Cord, and Regan, with whom she is desperate to reconnect. The four embark on an over-the-top lavish cruise, with lovers old and new joining them, where secrets surface and old wounds are reopened. This New York Times Bestseller and Reese's Book Club Pick is at times deliciously funny and at times heart-breaking, just like being part of a family.
